We recommend you spend approximately 110 hours of your time
studying for the NCFE Level 3 Safeguarding Children Award. The pace
of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you
dedicate 2 hours a week to the course it would take you a year to
complete but if you could spare 4 hours a week you could complete
it in six months.

This course is marked through a process of continuous assessment
guided by your tutor. This means that your qualification will be
awarded according to your performance on assessments rather than by
taking an exam.

NCFE is recognised as an awarding body by the qualification
regulators ('regulators') for England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The regulators are the Office of the Qualifications and
Examinations Regulator (Ofqual) in England, the Department for
Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills (DCELLS) in Wales
and the Council for Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA)
in Northern Ireland.

Students are assessed through a series of tutor marked
assignments based on their application of the course content there
is no final exam. The assignments take the form of a series
of structured questions. There is no word count for these
assignments, however you have to prove to your tutor that you have
fully understood the questions asked.
